We identified the top 100 sprayers of the controversial weedkiller Roundup in California—a state that produces more than three-quarters of the nation’s fruits and nuts and nearly half of its vegetables. Check out our new searchable database to find out who’s at the top of the list. bit.ly/3SqKXDZ

🍽️ Dinner and dessert! Halibut ceviche and fresh peach crumb pie! The ceviche has garlic, tomato, red onion, some mint and cuke from our garden, along with purchased peppers, mango and cilantro. OJ and lime juice for the liquid.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Like the Pharaohs of old, we should bury his most trusted advisors and sycophants with him.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

Five o'clock makes for a very early #Morning but worth it to be among the first ones in the US to greet the sun along the Maine coast. It's up and at our backs on the way back to town for breakfast. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #shadows

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

A rare phenomenon known as a fog bow arcs over the #edge of a salt marsh along on an unusually warm February day. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #weather #NationalWildlifeRefuges

A #Round wreath of Haitian steel drum art, cut out of a drum which would otherwise end up as waste. It gets hammered out, embossed and engraved, cleaned and polished while preserving the rich brown color of oxidization. It has been hanging by our front door for many years. #BlueSkyArtShow

The snowstorm has almost passed, but not without some damage to the trees lining our little dirt road. We have at least four trees down and roughly a foot of snow. I'm amazed and relieved we still have power. SNJ, 02.23.26.

These little flowers always come two by #Two. Partridgeberry, a.k.a. Twinberry, Pigeon Plum, and Running Box, is native to my part of the world. These blooms are clean white, but can be pink. #BlueSktArtShow #nativeplants #nature #photography #EastCoastKin

Two drake Harlequin Ducks taking a rest on a seaweed-covered jetty in Barnegat, NJ, from a couple of years ago. Love to watch these hardy little ducks bobbing like corks in choppy water, unfazed by rough surf. #birds #birding #EastCoastKin #photography #nature #ducks

The early morning #sunlight filters through a patch of lichens in Maine, with a little wild blueberry bush glowing bright red in the middle. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #Nature #Photography

ICE is not legitimate federal law enforcement, they do not target criminals. They are the paramilitary wing of a fascist movement that seeks to intimidate minorities and anybody who doesn’t fit into their image of “American”. They are Nazi-adjacent and should be regarded as such.

Mutant H3N2 Influenza Surges Across the U.S. A sharp spike in activity has been reported, with 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalizations, and 3,100 deaths as the flu’s impact triples in just one week. Wear a respirator (N95/KN95) when going outdoors or into crowded indoor spaces.

Just about any #Holiday one can think of involves special foods, symbolic of that particular celebration. A Buche de Noel is a special treat and is a multi-day project. This was my first attempt at making one. #BlueSkyArtShow
